Intersection Vehicle Crashes in California

Intersections are among the most common locations for traffic accidents in California. With vehicles traveling in different directions, pedestrians crossing, and cyclists navigating the same space, even a brief lapse in judgment can lead to serious collisions. From high-speed T-bone crashes to rear-end impacts at red lights, intersection accidents often result in significant injuries and complex legal challenges.

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, a large percentage of serious injury and fatal crashes occur at intersections. Common causes include running red lights, failing to yield the right of way, distracted driving, speeding, and making unsafe turns. These accidents can involve not only two vehicles but also motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians, making them especially dangerous.

Determining fault in an intersection crash can be complicated. If you’ve been involved in an intersection accident, it's essential to take the right steps from the beginning. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine—some injuries can take hours or days to fully appear. Report the accident to the police and request a copy of the report. If possible, gather photos of the scene, contact information from witnesses, and details about the other driver and their vehicle.

To protect your legal rights, it’s crucial to act quickly. California imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, so seeking legal advice promptly is key. An experienced auto accident attorney can navigate the complexities of multi-vehicle crash cases, ensuring victims receive fair compensation for their losses.
